Local residents look for practical ways to gain new skills and secure work that fits their goals. Temp roles and short training courses offer a direct path to build confidence, develop experience and step into better employment. GSS continues to support adults across Greenwich with funded opportunities that prepare you for real jobs and future progression.
GSS will deliver a new set of courses in January in partnership with the Royal Borough of Greenwich through Greenwich Learns. These courses help you build skills that employers value and increase your chances of moving into meaningful work. You can also speak with our team about available temp jobs that match your profile and your career goals.
Why Temp Jobs Matter
Temp work gives you flexibility and practical experience. You gain recent work history, learn workplace expectations and develop confidence. Employers often use temp roles to identify strong candidates for permanent positions. This approach helps you take a step forward even if you are returning to work, changing career direction or building experience in the UK job market.
Temp roles also help you test different sectors. You can explore new environments, understand what you enjoy and keep your CV active while training.
Training That Supports Real Progress
GSS training focuses on skills that support long term employability. The new January courses give Greenwich residents access to practical learning that supports clear outcomes. Each course addresses a key area that employers value or a challenge many adults face when returning to employment.
